THE BOYZ is an eleven-member South Korean boy group under IST Entertainment, debuting in December 2017. Known for sharp, powerful group choreography and a performance-first approach, the group gained widespread recognition through their dominant performance on the survival competition show Road to Kingdom and continued to build a substantial international fanbase.

History

Debut and early years

THE BOYZ debuted with "The First" and quickly built a reputation as a formidable performance group. Their pre-debut buzz was significant, and they rapidly accumulated a dedicated fanbase across Asia and internationally.

Road to Kingdom and breakthrough

Their performances on Mnet's Road to Kingdom (2020) — particularly a dramatic staging of "The Stealer" — went viral and introduced the group to millions of new viewers. Subsequent releases "MAVERICK," "Whisper," and their Phantasy series albums cemented their place in the fourth-generation conversation despite debuting in the third.
